Story
Meet the fantastic Cooper! This guy is a short stack of appreciation. He is only about 55 pounds and on the smaller side for a male GSD. What does he appreciate, you may ask? Being away from the shelter of course and in a home with friends to play with, people to pet him, and a cozy bed to sleep on each night. Cooper was pulled from the Stockton Shelter in mid-July. That place was stressing him out! He needed time, structure and some confident dog and people companions in his life to help him decompress. He also needed to be neutered and to get rest during his recovery time. What helped Cooper move into the new chapter of his life: Short walks through the neighborhood. A patient and confident person. A playful pup friend. A predictable and structured routine. Love and understanding. Cooper tends to have some environmental anxiety but using the recipe above this guy will reward you with companionship, couch potato vibes, goofy antics, silly zoomies, and the softest sweetest eyes to stare into. Fill out an application if this sounds like your type of pup!" FOSTERED IN ACAMPO

Story
Hazel is a German Shepherd mix, approx. 4.5 years old. Her story is one of resilience and love. Hazel was abandoned last July by her owner when he moved to Texas. Instead of trying to find a home, he opted to dump her in the country. Fortunately, Lana, a kind Samaritan, found her, took her in, and has been caring for her ever since. Despite her past, Hazel remains a sweet and affectionate girl who loves giving kisses and wagging her tail to everyone she meets. Hazel considers everyone her friend! Hazel travels well in a car and enjoys walks, although she is learning leash manners. She is a quick study and would benefit from additional training. She is treat-motivated and takes treats very gently, which makes her a joy to work with. She is also very mellow and well-behaved indoors. Unfortunately, Hazel and Lana’s resident rescue female German Shepherd do not get along, so Hazel would do best as an only dog or could do well with a male companion. However, Hazel prefers not to live with kitties. If you have been looking for a wonderful, loyal, and loving companion who will be a gentle presence in your home, Hazel could be the perfect match. After all she’s been through, Hazel deserves a caring family and a place to call home. LOCATED IN LODI

Story
* Friendly, wiggly, and happy to meet new people* Wonderful walking companion* Loves to play with her dog friendsThis happy girl has a friendly personality and loves meeting new people. She’s wiggly and attentive, and she’s happy to sit for a treat and get ready for an adventure. She walks beautifully on leash, checks in with her person along the way, and can easily be redirected when something catches her eye. She notices other dogs on walks but doesn’t bark or pull toward them.Coco also has a playful side! When she met another dog named Lexi, the two warmed up to each other and enjoyed running, bouncing, and jumping around together. They walked nicely side by side, with a few playful breaks along the way. Coco enjoys being around other dogs and can share space with a playmate while still responding to redirection.With her friendly nature and playful personality, Coco is a fun companion to have around. She’s ready to find a family to share her walks, playtime, and happy greetings with!

Story
* Sweet * Playful* Loves hanging out in the yardLexi is a sweet, gentle girl with a big heart and an even bigger capacity to love. She adores being close to her people and is happiest when she`s curled up beside you on the couch, resting at your feet, or giving you gentle kisses. If there`s a comfy chair, couch, or bed nearby, you can bet Lexi has already claimed the best spot!She`s playful, especially with other dogs outside of the home. Inside the home, she prefers to be the only dog but may do well with a cat. One of her favorite things is running around the backyard, where her playful personality really shines, especially when the zoomies kick in.Lexi is still building confidence on walks. She`s a curious girl who likes to stop and take in everything around her, and unfamiliar sights and sounds can sometimes make her feel unsure. With patience, encouragement, and continued positive experiences, she`s making gradual progress, but she truly seems happiest exploring the safety and familiarity of a fenced yard at her own pace.At home, Lexi is fully house trained and loves being part of the family. She forms deep bonds with her people and thrives in a home where she can enjoy companionship, a predictable routine, and plenty of love.Lexi has had a positive introduction to a cat, calmly sharing space without much interest, so a cat-savvy home may be a possibility with slow introductions.If you`re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with endless love, Lexi is ready to find the family she`s been waiting for.
